WASHINGTON May Ex-senator Colquitt
called on the President to-day and presented
the papers forwarded to him recommending
the appointment of ex-Representative Ham
mond, of Atlanta, TO the vacancy on the
Supreme bench caused by the death of JUS
tice Woods. It is understood that Judge
Hammond has practically all the Georgia
support. The President has not begun
to consider the matter. He will not
make the appointment before fall. He
wants TO get the best man possible. He will
probably appoint Southern man. He will
probably not appoint any man who is a
candidate, for he believes that in this case
above all others the Office should seek the
man. Beyond these statements nothing can
be said definitely about the matter

RESTORING OLD BARRIERS.

The new law tends TO restore the old bar
riers and to put the sections, cities and
towns farther away from each other.
Closely connected are the numerous labor
troubles, most of which grow out of narrow
fields for the distribution of products. The
local reports are generally encouraging.
Where business is deemed dull, it is in every
case pronounced larger than last year. The
business failures occurring throughout the
country during the last week number for
the United States 152, and for Canada 2S, a
total of $50 against 1G7 last week, and 49,
the week previous. The failures in the South
are very light, and in the other sections of
the country are below the average except in
the Pacific States and Canada, where the
casualties are on the increase.

trade review for the week ending May 21
says: The most important news of the week
is that the interstate commission will re-
woke all temporary suspensions of the short
haul clause, terminating them July l. This
statement seems credible only because it ac-
cords with the spirit of the letter just pub
lished by the commission giving reasons for
refusing suspensions, and holding that in
jury to existing business is no reason for
setting aside the law. Only in exceptional
cases viii it interfere For twenty-five
years the roads have been annihiHting bar

signsd his OH 20 OF State Constable to
saforSe the prohibitory liquor Law

Iesigniug to be OF any service to th'
Republican party. His appointment t.
that Once Was ono Of the main causes
that led to . split In the Republican
party and It's consequent defest as the
Late election. The Republicans had
passed prohibitory liquor lsw for thai
State, and one OF the provisions OF the
Law was that Safe constable was u
b appointed to enforce 1t. The po~ei
that made this appointment Was op'
posed to the Law and appointed Re
publican ''boss" that WAS opposed to II
also. 1t can easily be imagined tina
the law was not very faithfully enforced
under the circu mstsn ces. At any RAJ
Ehe defeat OF the Republican party 1t
the result OF "bossism." No party thai
has any respect for itself will sutfe
itself TO become the licksplttle o,
'sboss." Whenever that occurs IL
downfall is imminent. IL Is to D.
hoped, no viewer, that the retirement
